The hot spring pump is broken and may be fixed eventually--but who knows? The lack of spring really cuts down on the appeal of this hilltop hotel. If you're coming here for the rooms or restaurant, that's fine, but that's not what I'm judging this facility on. There are two baths, one indoor and one outdoor. Both are treated, but it's not very noticeable. You can smell the chlorine, however. The view from the outdoor bath is 100% outstanding. Still, on its own, without a sauna, cold water, jets, or the natural spring water, the view doesn't make a strong argument for the ¥700 (spring 2022, weekend) entrance fee.

Day use ends at 3pm with the last entrance at 2pm, so you need to get here early. I went on a hike, took a bath for this review, then kept on hiking. Doubt I would ever go there again. This could be a nice hotel if you need one in Osaka, but you'd definitely need a car if you wanted to do any tourism.
